• Keep - Article discusses an interesting attempt to target a niche market at the union of two growing phenomenon, namely the recent increase in attention and popularity of Apple computers and the rapid growth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Both are cultural phenomenon occurring in our world today. Rsabey 13:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hetar, to refer to this article as "spamvertisement" is totally inappropriate and attaches a very unnecessary, emotion-driven label to the article. No one is being spammed. This isn't an email being sent out. What is the difference between this article and an article on "Third Day", a Christian Rock Band or an article for "Bibleman Jr.", a Christian kids's show, both of which are Wikipedia articles? "Ship Of Fools" is another example of an article about a niche religious topic. Swatjester - regarding your concern, in the short time between your initial comment and now (4 days) a Google search on "Latter-Day Mac" now garners 256 hits - a 61% increase in 4 days. At that rate, in four more days, this hits could be up over 400. Rsabey 13:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
